Chapter 259

"Eva, bring me the combat technique manual for Lei Guan Demon Killing Spear."

"Understood, please wait a moment."

After selecting the manual, Xu Jingming quickly obtained the original copy.

Following the old rule, he first carefully read and understood it, then directly used the system to allocate points.

Psychic Points -3200!

Lei Guan Demon Killing Spear → Lei Guan Demon Killing Spear (Beginner)!

Instantly, countless details and difficulties of the S-rank elite combat technique 'Lei Guan Demon Killing Spear' flooded into Xu Jingming's mind.

As if he had practiced it tens of thousands of times, the knowledge was firmly etched into his memory.

Xu Jingming could feel that with just a thought, his blood qi combined with psychic energy would erupt.

He could unleash this S-rank technique—something ordinary psychics needed nearly a year or two to learn—smoothly, without any stiffness or lag!

"This is the Deep Blue System—truly powerful."

Although this wasn't his first time allocating points to a technique, Xu Jingming couldn't help but marvel.

So smooth!

So smooth that he even suspected whether, at the moment of allocation, he had entered a space where time had stopped flowing.

He would continuously practice the technique until fully mastered before being allowed to leave.

Only after completion would the related memories be completely erased.

"On Blue Star, psychic abilities are as numerous as stars—elements like wind, fire, lightning, and electricity, even spatial abilities."

"But not a single time-based psychic ability has ever appeared..."

Xu Jingming's gaze flickered slightly.

Of course, its absence doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

This miraculous Deep Blue System might have been created by a powerful being possessing a time-based psychic ability.

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming quickly ended his bold speculation.

No matter what the Deep Blue System truly was, he currently had no strength at all to uncover the truth...

"But learning Lei Guan Demon Killing Spear cost me 3200 psychic points—looks like its power must be even greater than Lei Shen Finger."

Lei Shen Finger, also an S-rank elite technique, had only cost him 2800 psychic points.

Pausing, Xu Jingming spoke to Eva again:

"Eva, show me the latest A-rank lightning-based combat techniques added to the library."

The combat technique manuals in the Demon War Technique Library were not static—they were constantly updated.

Xu Jingming was already familiar with most of the previous lightning-based techniques; only the newly added ones were unknown to him.

With over a thousand psychic points remaining on his system panel, he planned to see if any suited him.

Of course, quantity isn't as important as quality.

Xu Jingming already possessed too many techniques—movement, restriction, offense, defense...

These different types of techniques were sufficient to handle many complex combat situations.

He wouldn't redundantly learn techniques of the same type.

"There are currently eight newly added A-rank lightning-based combat techniques—all listed here."

Eva's voice sounded, and a brand-new list appeared before Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming immediately began carefully reviewing it.

Of these eight techniques, five were offensive, two were defensive.

All overlapped with techniques he already possessed—no need to learn them.

Only one enhancement technique caught Xu Jingming's eye.

【Lei Ying Body (A-rank): Use your own lightning-based psychic energy to form a thunderous shadow that follows you. 【42】 The Lei Ying shadow strikes immediately after your main body attacks, dealing up to 30% of your damage, and can generate multi-strike damage. 【43】 Note: Requires at least Rank 2 and a lightning-based B-rank or higher psychic ability to learn.】

Lei Ying strikes immediately after the main body, dealing up to 30% of the main body's damage and capable of forming multi-hit damage.

Note: Only those of Rank Two or higher with a Thunder-element B-rank or higher ability may learn this.

"This technique..."

The technique's direct damage wasn't high—the Lei Ying shadow dealt only 30% of your damage.

But the multi-strike damage afterward was significant.

After all,

No matter how fast a psychic attacks, there's always a gap between strikes.

For example, Xu Jingming himself—after each spear thrust, he had to retract the spear before striking again.

That interval was the vacuum period!

Powerful psychics deliberately targeted these vacuum periods!

With Lei Ying Body, however, you could fill those gaps with the shadow's damage!

"Damn, if used well, this is absolutely a divine technique rivaling S-rank techniques!"

Xu Jingming waved his hand and said directly: "Eva, bring me the original manual for Lei Ying Body."

As Xu Jingming had predicted, the original manual for Lei Ying Body described precisely this kind of application.

Thus, Xu Jingming ultimately spent 400 psychic points to directly allocate points and learn the 'Lei Ying Body' technique.

"Eva, see you next time."

After allocating points to the technique and bidding farewell to Eva,

Xu Jingming left the reading room and headed straight to the Vice Principal's office on the top floor of the technique library.

The office door was closed; before he could knock, a clear, melodious voice came from inside:

"Come in."

"Click—"

Turning the doorknob, Xu Jingming opened the door and entered the office.

Inside, he saw Vice Principal Ling Shuang seated behind her desk, seemingly writing something.

Today, she was unlike her usual self—she wasn't wearing classical attire, but a light blue long dress.

Under the dress, her ethereal aura appeared even more fairy-like.

Yet beneath the light blue dress, her feet—translucent as jade—remained bare in the air.

At that moment, Vice Principal Ling Shuang slightly lifted her head, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.

The tear mole at the corner of her eyes added a unique charm.

Her crimson lips moved slightly as she softly said:

"Back from the Yuan Shui Wasteland?"

Xu Jingming had only informed Teacher Yang about his leave to the wasteland.

Ling Shuang knew anyway—clearly, she had been watching him all along.

"Yeah, went to the wasteland to hunt beasts and keep my combat edge sharp."

Xu Jingming made up a casual excuse.

Unexpectedly, Ling Shuang nodded seriously and praised him:

"Virtual training may be realistic, but it's not the real world. Good that you thought to go to the wasteland to maintain your edge."

Is that acceptable?

Xu Jingming hadn't expected his made-up excuse to earn praise.

Still, he quickly recovered and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Principal.

By the way, this is the Hundred-Colored Flower I bought in the Yuan Shui Wasteland—please accept it."

A faint glow from his space ring revealed a bouquet of three flowers, each a different color, emitting a faint, delicate fragrance, resting in his right hand.

With Vice Principal Ling Shuang's strength, even if she sold Xu Jingming, she still couldn't afford anything she'd truly desire.

For such a powerful being, small, thoughtful trinkets are what truly show you value her.

Especially flowers—something every woman likes.

"Hundred-Colored Flower..."

As an eighth-rank Grand Master, Ling Shuang naturally knew this rare F-rank exotic herb, which only bloomed in spring in the Yuan Shui Wasteland.

As a woman with an excellent figure and appearance, and an S-rank psychic ability,

Since childhood, countless gifts had been given to her—from A-rank to SS-rank, even SSS-rank items!

But no one had ever given her an F-rank exotic herb like this.

Yet, instead of feeling unappreciated, Ling Shuang felt a faint joy she herself hadn't noticed.
